It is an absolute, total non sense. Higuain is a mickey mouse players, and isn't good enough to play in the biggest competitions agains the best clubs. Today was another exemple of that terrible weakness. Benzema, coming up at the 60th, gave a goal and an assist. He is the champion's league player by excellence, his stats in the competitions are always great.

Higuain in CL: 48 matchs, 8 goals

Benzema in CL: 53 matchs, 31 goals

Higuain goal ratio is ridiculously bad. Even for a midfielder, it would be bad, lett alone for a striker.

Real Madrid has to ship him out if they want to go further in the CL. Higuain is simply not good enough.

This debate just keeps raging on it seems and it always goes the same way. Benzema's best performances at Madrid have always been when he was a sub, there are plenty of games where he started and did very little.

Higuain isn't an awful player, but he is so limited, Madrid could have so much better than him, and already have (Benzema).

I don't get how a player like Higuain has done 7 seasons (!!!) in Madrid when even good players can be kicked out of this club. Does Higuain possess some secret and embarassing files about the club?

You are entering an entirely different argument here and i am not going to side with you there. Higuain, as a Real Madrid player, has been very good. he did some wonderful things here and greatly contributed to some la liga wins. he may not be a star striker, but he is a quality player any team should aspire to have. He has heart, he is committed, and he is passionate about the club.

as a manger you dont pick players based off of statistics in 1 competition.

deez and some others needs to stop acting like running around endless into offside is brilliant, higs is not doing anything to justify starting, plus he has always been poor in cl, even last season when everyone was performing at maximum he still sucked, he is not good enough in cl why is that so hard to admit?

ok tell me all the brilliant things higs did with his cl starts?, im not saying benz has been impressive but i can't see how higs has been better, at least benz is cl proven and he has always save us when mou drops him

i find it hard to discuss a higgy v benz debate with a benz fanboy.

but here is basically the situation for mou: 2 terribly out of form strikers. 1 is doing a bit better than the other. which one do you pick? obviously the one who has been playing a bit better. and that choice is higuain.

but ya, in hindsight its easy to run your mouth and say what should have been, but the fact of the matter is you say higuain did nothing to justify starting.. well if youve watched madrid lately neither has benzema- even less so.
